The Irish DPA seems to focus on not doing their work, and actively fighting back against having to do their work.

The German DPAs love going after random individual cases they find, often in ways incompatible with reality (e.g. a small company not using GPG when e-mailing employees about HR issues), while ignoring major abuses that happen at scale. The biggest fine they issued was to a real estate management company for not deleting old documents (e.g. proof of income) that tenants had provided.

Not a single fine against adtech companies.
